Hello everyone. I've been lurking for a while on this board but really do enjoy the posts and information.My situation is that I will be receiving a settlement of several hundred thousand dollars from a lawsuit in the next few days. I am concerned about where to put the money until I have decided how to Foolishly invest for retirement. I understand that bank accounts are insured by FDIC but only up to 100K. Do I have to visit several banks in my area and open up several accounts or is there an easier way?
